A light gray under the yellow will work, unless it's a pale yellow. I painted a few diesel locos in a gray, yellow, maroon scheme. The whole body was gray, with yellow ends and maroon stripes along the sides. You'll do great with this build. -
You could do a Pudgy, Tom McGuire's P-38. I was out on the flight-line the day a donated P-38 landed at McGuire AFB. It had been restored and repainted as Pudgy ? (McGuire's planes all had the same name, just a new Roman numeral as he got new mounts). Anyway, it was placed on a pedestal, stored flyable. Every 3 years or so they'd dismount it, tow it to a hangar and clean it up and run the engines. I don't think it was taken up for a test hop, though.

Nicely done with all the PE, so far. I just love bending and folding the grabs, then inserting them into the appropriate holes.

I'd like to see the F86 too. Saw a few flying about, too, at airshows. They were all shiny bare aluminum, except for the gun muzzle panels, like in your box top. Would you call it magnesium or steel color? The cover stands out.

Very nice non-airbrush finish. Looking forward to seeing your P-51D. 👍

You're getting a really nice reflectivity on the nose section, somewhat better than the other two areas you point out. The nose looks the shiniest of the 3 panels, but then it could easily be due the orientation of the individual panels, like on the real thing. We're not talking one billet of aluminum for the entire surface, but multiple panels with varying orientations. 👍

EG, the finish is coming along, despite the coarse riveting lines on the model. The Starfighter will look even better, brother.

Ancient anchor found in Yucatan.

Seems to be the state of Journalism these days. Sensational words to grab our attention. -
I think you've got the method to an NMF bird. Very nice..

The cowl bump on the nose is huge. Looks like the noses of some Me-109Gs. Best of luck hiding it with anti-glare green. Model on...

Fairey Gannet by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/72

Interesting bird; unusual extra vertical stabilizers on the tail. Must have had a strong yawing effect, despite the contra-rotating props. -
Blairstown would be very cool, but I have an affinity for DL&W equipment. Taber has pictures, as does the Rail-Marine Info Group. Whatever you do, you'll get a following.

I'm with OC on liking the coach. The varnish reals works. 👍
-
Two's in! Interesting to see these finishing techniques as they happen. Thanks for the sharing.

Nice work, EG. And Klear is/was the name for Future on the other side of the Pond.

Denis, you're doing a bang-up job fixing this ancient kit. Has to be old, original run since there is box art on the lid, rather than the now required photo. I'm always interested in how modelers have to re-engineer one of these oldies. Keep on truckin' with this one. 👍

Guys painting bare metal finishes from Alclad favor a dark gloss gray rather than gloss black. But definitely a smooth gloss finish under your selected metal finishes.

I'm in, too. Got an hour or 2 in some B models. Flight examiner prerogative, ya know. 😉😁

Stagecoach looking good, Kevin And the dollhouses look good, too, What scale are they? I have a buddy here who used to build upscale furniture for these houses in I think 1/12 scale. He used the furniture catalogs from a home named Winterthur, outside Philadelphia, PA. Built clocks, dining room sets; he's was prolific with the furniture.

Nicely done camo. -
Dennis, here's a site for some nice decals: https://fineartofdecals.com/goodiess/

Do you mean cutting donuts in the seat cover, Lou? And yes, speed is life, at least in flying combat aircraft. We sat on a piece of cloth on top of the ejection seat kit. No padding because the little amount of padded space would allow the seat to accelerate beyond what a human tailbone could withstand. Broken hips anyone?
